This preprint reviews free boundary formulations for boundary value problems (BVPs) posed on semi-infinite intervals, presenting the main idea and theorem using illustrative second-order BVPs. It demonstrates effectiveness through two examples where both the original BVP solution and the solution to its free boundary formulation are available, then extends the approach to general n-order differential equation BVPs and reports three solved problems with numerical methods including the iterative transformation method and Keller’s second-order finite difference method. The numerical results are reported to agree well with existing literature, with the caveat that the study is a methods review using selected examples rather than a broad validation across applications. The paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a review of the free boundary formulation for BVPs defined on semi-infinite intervals. The main idea and theorem are illustrated, for the reader convenience, by using a class of second-order BVPs. Moreover, we are able to show the effectiveness of the proposed approach using two examples where the exact solution both for the BVPs and their free boundary formulation are available. Then, we describe the free boundary formulation for a general class of BVPs governed by an n -order differential equation. In this context, we report three problems solved using the free boundary formulation. The reported numerical results, obtained by the iterative transformation method or Keller’s second-order finite difference method, are found to be in very good agreement with those available in the literature. The last result of this research is that, in order to orient the interested reader, we provide an extensive bibliography. Of course, we may aspect further and more interesting applications of the free boundary formulation in the future.
